Vendor Profile: ADP: Evolving its founder's revolutionary legacy

When Henry Taub founded Automatic Payrolls more than 55 years ago, he revolutionized the way corporate America did payroll processing and built his company into one of the largest single computer processing services companies in the world.Today, Automatic Data Processing Inc. continues his legacy of service and innovation, but the current emphasis is on evolution, not revolution.

"Accounting professionals align themselves with organizations that have the same service values they have," explained Rich Watson, vice president of product management and accounting services at ADP Small Business Services. "They want to see improvements and enhancements to the services rendered, but also want to retain the level of comfort and best practices that reflect well on their practice. Our goal is to evolve our services in ways that meet the demands of a global business environment, while always exceeding the needs of our partner accounting professionals."
